Music: Week of May 22nd-26th
I hope that everyone had a wonderful week. Music is always on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Summer Concert on June 1st on the front lawn. I recommend bringing a lawn chair to the performance. You can also bring blankets to lay out on the grass as well.
Younger Grades:
In Kindergarten, were taking their end of year test. Students were also working on their concert piece Space Worms and playing instruments to music stories.
1st-2nd Grade, students were taking their end of year test. Students were also working on their concert piece Shake It.
In 3rd and 4th grade, we were taking their end of year test. We reviewed the concept of sharps vs. flats. What are sharps and flats how do they work? Students had to solve the boomwhackers on their own.
If you would like your child to wear a mask while playing you can purchase this mask or make a similar mask for your child.

In 5th-6th grade, students were taking their end of year test. We were working on our concert piece.
In 7th-8th grade, students are finishing their end of year test as well as their ukuleles. Students were working on Sweet Home Alabama.. Students just learned about the C D and G chord this week. Students are sounding fantastic on their ukuleles.
If anyone has an extra tuner they can donate or wants to purchase a clip on tuner to help students tune their instruments here is a link to purchase one:
I highly recommend students take advantage of our musicplayonline.com subscription. The student code is c211732.
